I think there is a slight difference between a UFC MW champ who happens to teach on the side and an school teacher who has her US MMA debut against a recently suspended for roids former champ. Franklin was already top of his game. Cyborg's opponent barely knew what was happening... but she had a hell of a chin (or Cyborg doesn't actually hit that hard).

The real point: Rousey is head and shoulder above the most recent opponents Cyborg has fought.

Cyborg doesn't hit that hard, or at least not as hard as people think. She's had a lot of stoppages but to my knowledge always due to a barrage of punches rather than one solid one. If Rousey has any sort of chin Cyborg could be in trouble.

You may want to look up Finny vs Cyborg on youtube that kind of damage doesn't come from soft touches.

I didn't say she had pillows. Finney got mauled, but it took a round and a half or something like that. That may give Rousey the opportunity to get inside and take it to the ground. If Cyborg ever agrees to the UFC conditions she'll be 10 lbs lighter too.
